Not quite. WING is memory mapped GDI. So rather than doing a PutPixel,
you can directly address pixels in the DC using segment/offset
addressing. You still need the BitBlt operations to get the DC into
the video card memory.
Since most of the DOS games programmers worked by twiddling pixels, WING
was a natural upgrade path for them to write games in Windows, but still
keep within the GDI limitations.
